Echoes of War:
A Literature and Medicine Anthology
A Literature and Medicine Anthology
The Maine Humanities Council is pleased to announce the publication of Echoes of War: A Literature and Medicine Anthology, edited by Suzanne Hunter Brown. Created as a reader for health care professionals working in Veterans Administration Medical Centers, the selections focus on issues unique to, or more acute in, hospitals for soldiers. Nevertheless, any group of health care professionals can benefit from the readings, both because all health care facilities will increasingly see veterans and because “veterans’ issues” often illuminate general medical concerns. We hope, too, that the general public will appreciate these readings as a way to better understand the experience of the men and women who serve in the armed forces.
The anthology includes work by: Anna Brashler, Raymond Carver, Andre Dubus, Louise Erdrich, George Garrett, Atul Gawande, Arthur Kleinman, Nancy Mairs, Marilyn Nelson, Veneta Masson, Platon, John Stone, Brian Turner, and several other authors and poets.
